That may be true among us lower life-forms...but that is not the topic of discussion. And you are not qualified to make such a statement...that's the point.Again, there's no knowledge which cannot be shared regardless of personal belief. None.
Not quite. My truth is not contradicting "truth"... it is contradicting your claim.Exactly, you accept a contradicting truth, which is no truth at all because logically truth should not contradict itself.
Another good question is: "And what happened before that?"That is right Scott. I have asked numerous atheists to tell me how life began and to date, zilch, zero, nothing. In other words they don't know.
No. If you must know, we believed that life was more than organic, and for doing so, we were given the answer of how life began...so now we know.We don't know how life began. Only difference with you is, we don't make stuff up.
Yet by the time you post it here, it is reduced to opinion, or apparent self-deception. Have you considered why that happens?Sorry I'm on my phone, I didn't double check the name
The demonstration of truth goes to the core of your being, it's undeniable.
You left out an important part. Science is an observation made by minds (because 'observations' are made by 'minds')... but they are observations of something outside of the mind, which can be tested, verified and falsified by something outside of the mind.Well, yes, in mind. Science is an observation made by minds. Or does it happen somewhere else in your body?
Apparently not. One can take a position on a particular god, such as the "God" that allegedly walked and talked in a garden that has no evidence of having existed, poofed people and animals into existence, and later, in a manner contrary to the modern understanding of genetics, populated the planet with a tiny group of individuals and animals that survived a global flood in an unbuildable boat, a flood that killed the dinosaurs in a manner that only *appears* to be 65 million years ago, because the Earth is really only somehow 6000 years old, yet remains, by every objective measure to date indistinguishable from nothing. I am comfortable in saying that that god does not exist.For one, you're contradicting atheism by claiming it's true.
Atheism makes no claims about God, it acknowledges that God is not known to exist or not exist.
Oops, do I understand atheism better than you do?

You cannot do that with your theistic claims.
Well, there are a lot of wild stories trotted out into these forums. They can't all be taken a face value.But you have left out the actual reason, the reason I gave you...which is the contingent requirement set down by God. We are His creation...so He decides what is required.
Also, yes, we both speak english, but you would have to believe me. And just as I would not trust you with my life (not at this point), you should not expect to trust me with yours...so believing my words is not realistic.
You have made many assertions.But I can explain just how it works, and I have,
The appeal to popularity is a fallacy.which is confirmed by countless people
The appeal to antiquity is a fallacy.down through the ages.
You mean, the promise of eternal life.But then you have to take it upon yourself. You are either a child of God and have it in you to see it through and trust in His requirements, or you are not His child, but only an animated part of his creation...which is a gift all by itself...but it does not include the bonus of eternal life.
Is that a bad thing, Mr. "Walking with Einstein"?If you require the wisdom of others
Sure, but belief is not a conscious decision, and I do not see your opinions as compelling.to make your own decision...you still have to make it. What you decide, that is what you get. Go for it.
That may be true among us lower life-forms...but that is not the topic of discussion. And you are not qualified to make such a statement...that's the point.
Atheism is only a theological position on the question of deities. It has nothing to do with biology or chemistry.Another good question is: "And what happened before that?"
Eventually, they have to admit they don't know...which of course they deny even after admitting to it.
Falsehood is also experienced by mind. Not everything "mind" is true. The map is not the country.The realm of the spirit is contactable by mind, truth is experienced by mind. Mind is created by mind, we are children of the mind of God. Mind is apart from the universe that it observes. All the testing and verifying of the material world is of value to mind.
God demonstrably exist too. The world is His demon-stration.The problem wit this analogy is that GM demonstrably exists.
